Sisters Jean Befort, Patricia McLennon and Ramona Medina — the forces behind the planned center that will offer a wide array of programs for women and women with children — are offering the “interim program” for two hours on Monday and Wednesday mornings. This morning, Emily Brown and her sons Elijah and Noah were on hand for playtime for the boys and conversation for Mom.
Sister Jean, Pat and Ramona invite Concordia women to stop by and talk about what offerings would be valuable to them. Or, you can call the sisters for information, 785-243-9689.
The new center will be at 103 E. Sixth St., and the sisters hope to have the renovation complete by the end of the year so Neighbor to Neighbor can open in early 2010.
This weekend a volunteer crew from the First United Methodist Church in Concordia is expected to spend Saturday helping with interior demolition on the two-story brick building. One the entire building is cleared out, renovations will begin to create the new center.
